brother lightning's post from [url=http://www.jannah.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl/YaBB.pl?board=bebzi&action=display&num=6550&start=0]the old thread[/url] :

Salam :)

Ok Ok Hajree, you got me man :)  I know, its officially 3 hours late, but here's the RealAudio. :)

Barakallahu feekum for everyone who helped out with this.  MashaAllah, I've heard from some people who had listened and enjoyed the program.  Please forgive us for the many errors we've made.

Brother Kashif, you should definitely work on getting a program going out there in the UK, it will be very beneficial, inshaAllah...plus it'll mean brother Khaled doesn't have to stay up all night to share some of his wisdom on the air :)  

Hanif, Explorer, I'm sorry I'm so unorganized.  One day I'll learn how to plan better :)

Cara, I'm so mad ):(  You were listening and you still didn't call!?!?  And Merimda, you too ???  Ok next time, don't be surprised if your phone mysteriously rings during the show... ;) :)


Here's the first program we aired last week, Rebuilding the Muslim Community...

Of course, now we can go to work the nx day and not fall asleep at the desk.

Heard the first player last night, Bro Lightningatnite you sound quite professional, if I must say. Two more today...insha-allah.

Who knows I might just listen to that person who may sound like a trainspotter.

Salaams,

"So Irfaan, you wanna tell us your name and the school you go to?"

hehe. Thats a classic. Reminds me of:

"tumhaara naam kya hai Basanti?"

I think less no. of people should be hosting one show (at least it seemd to me that there were 4/5 people who were hosts?). Maybe Two hosts in one show might be better. Each can take turns or something. The rest can just call in and share their thoughts.

I've nearly listened to all of part 1, and i was really impressed alhumdulillah by everyone's input on the show. I can't even think of anything which might make the show better from a content point of view. But i do agree with eqbal, it might be a good idea to restrict the # of guests to say 2/3 people.

lightning hosted the show well (except for the first minute or so) and the "hey irfaan tell us your name and where you come from bit" lol.

And tq... thats a classic line from a classic movie. Who can ever forget Gabbar Singh? haha. I was looking thru our tapes the other day and found the copy my friend lent me about 5 years ago! I should return it to him soon.

Salam,

Hey Kashif, you better watch your back man...I've got br. Khaled on my side :)

Man, my other stupid line from the program "The Qur'an is an essential part of the language of the Qur'an."  

duh..its not easy engineering, especially when you have people calling in from Nashville Tennesee hanging up on you 3 or 4 times :)

Alhamdulillah, it went well.  Sorry, I havne't been able to get the RealAudio to stream live, it only seems to make you download it.  Jannah has some of our old shows streaming on her resources page..anyone know how she did that ???

Kathy, just when you thought you were finished...I've got three more for you ...don't kill me ok :)  Its punishment for not calling in.  So these are from last week's show, with special guests *BARR* and *BR.KHALED* just awoken at 3AM...don't miss out... :)  :

AWW,

I think a Sis asked Brother Arsalan what projects you are doing in the community and has it been progressive and he mentioned "Basketball" amongst others and I think somebody starts giggling. May Allah forgive me if I'm wrong.

[quote]Sorry, I havne't been able to get the RealAudio to stream live, it only seems to make you download it.  [/quote]

Hey man it worked for me, just dragged the shortcut onto Realone(new version of real player) and its working. I've got a speed of 16kbs. :). Now your talking man...! No download!

[quote]better call in this week, don't forget Thursday 10:30PM live...[/quote]

Shouldn't this be on the ticker and perhaps in uppercase. And perhaps a comfortable time for us Brits.

Depends on your connection, for me it took roughly 10 mins.

I listened to the first show. Mash Allah, it was very very nice and well done! I would be honoured to take part in a show, but I've got to clear it with my husband if he can stand being woken up at approx. 4am. You see, there's not much point in going back to bed after that since we get up at approx. 6am anyway. So I'll let you know Insha Allah. Gosh, but I wouldn't know what to say :o Are you sure you want *me* ???

oh my gosh! elanor!!!! you soooooooo gotta call!! it would be awesome! ;-D

and err, don't expect me to take my own advice, there's no way i can call in! i'd be too shy man! but you really should call! :)

and i finally heard barr and brkhalid!!! oh my gosh, your accents guys!!! :)

and hehe LGAT- i was laughing when you asked betul if she's calling from turkey :D

and was this the betul from jannah.org? :)

okee, just my side comments, i didnt' get to hear the whole show, just skimmed through it briefly and heard some of the people talking, but mashaAllah, good job guys...

i actually needed to hear the beginning part to give my sister some idea of something, that's why i was soo happy it was up here and plus, to hear the others :)

anywho, good jobs peeps...

and ohhhh, 10:30 man! why you guys gotta do that? that's when ER is on! :(

oh well, it's all good in the hood...i'll figure something out =)

Take Care All

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah -

Have y'all ever thought about making cassette recordings and giving them away?  I only got a chance to listen to part of the previous show (with the caller who asked about “clerics”, takes for-EVER to download), and I gotta say, y’all need to quit your day jobs (ok, stay in school), and work in the communications field.   We need you there!  I’ve listened to IBN, and this is on the same level, if not, even more necessary, since y’all are the youth who represent not only Islam (firstly), but the West (and not in its worst sense).  
The reason I mention the free recordings is because I saw this occurring a lot after 9/11 here in MD.  In one case, Yusuf Estes was on an interfaith panel and afterwards, his org (WAMY?) gave away free cassette recordings of a past interfaith lecture and a skit in response to 9/11 (with a Billy-Bob type visiting a masjid, intending to put down it and any Muslims he found on his way, but then realizing Islam was not a religion that taught terrorism after learning about it).
You may even want to contact Islamic organizations (like Soundvision or the IslamicBookstore) to see if they’d buy the recordings and/or use it as da’wah material to expand your audience.  Maybe that’s pushing it, but you never know.  Definitely check with the “elders” though, to make sure you haven’t said anything completely wrong (which I doubt).  But from what little I heard of that show in particular, y’all represented, masha’Allah.   Just keep it real, do it for Allah and don’t let your fame get to your head.  Hehe, kidding, but for real.  

JazaakAllahu khairan for your efforts.

I finally downloaded part one and heard it! :) I love your American accents, one of you sounds so much like Pete Sampras.

Q:'So could you tell us your name Brother Imran'

A:'Sure my name is Imran' :D

I really thought you were all great!! I thought Bro. Irfan ( I think that's the right person) bought up some good points mashallah, about tribalism/nationalism amougst muslims.

I also liked the short interview with the convert sisters by Shaun something. Some had been intimidated, spat on, harrased for bracing Islam, yet their strength and continued faith was so inspirational Allahamdulliah.

I think Sis Sofia had a cool idea with the cassettes :)

can't wait to listen to the other parts, especially to hear Barr speaking :)

keep up the good work :)

You don't have to wait 40 minutes for the whole show to download before you can listen to it!

Just open Real Player from Start -> Programs.  

In the Real Player window, there's a bar called "Location:"  Type the URL that lightningatnite has given in that Location bar and hit ENTER.

You should be able to hear the show, as it continues to download.  

Fast-forwarding will be slow though, because it takes time to buffer.
